Strong, scientifically informed international collaboration benefits the world and Switzerland
Stable Switzerland
Evidence shows that development cooperation prevents conflicts, reduces migration and prevents the emergence of new pandemics.
Evidence Revolution
Scientific evidence on development cooperation exists to an unprecedented extent, but is often not organized in an accessible way. We offer solutions for its integration.
Strengthen the economy
The Swiss economy benefits from stable trading partners and from development cooperation investments. For example: The activities of the Global Fund generate a return on investment of around 1:13 Swiss francs for Switzerland.
Reliable Partner
Switzerland positions itself as a leading player in foreign policy, with Geneva as an important international hub.
Impact-oriented
An evidence-based approach enables every Swiss franc to have maximum impact. The most effective interventions, for example in the health sector, save lives for relatively modest contributions (see for example: ETH NADEL Paper on Global Health).
Broadly supported
According to a study by the Military Academy at ETH Zurich and the Center for Security Studies, more than half of the Swiss population wants to expand the development cooperation.
